Best Travel Bra Options

Bralette

While not ideal for all women, seamless and wireless bralettes like the one shown above are a wonderful everyday option for women with smaller busts or for women with larger busts looking for a comfortable bra on relaxed travel days.

Bralettes are a good layering piece under camis and backless dresses while taking up less space in your suitcase because they have soft cups and no underwire.

Wire-free Bras

I’ve been obsessed with finding the perfect one ever since. Not having an underwire not only helps save space but they also offer more comfortable option for plane rides, long transportation journeys, and when traveling to incredibly hot destinations.

Underwire sports bra

A supportive sports bra is good for travelers that like to workout and that require underwire regularly. By having a supportive sports bra this can also be worn with other clothing as well.

I’ve sat on the beach and watched enough travelers work out to know that the majority of women really need some support. Most fitness brands seem to offer wireless sports bras which are great unless you need support in your workout activity.

To get the most wear under your clothing, choose a neutral color that won’t show.

Bikini Tops

Headed to the beach? Bikini tops can easily replace most if not all your bras.

Similar to the sports bra, make sure you have bikini tops that can be worn underneath most of your tops and dresses. Try choosing a solid black bikini top with a printed bikini bottom and choose alternating pieces to make the most of two sets.

There are more options for girls that don’t need support but there are several brands with extensive sizing for women that need underwire. Ideally, you should choose swimwear based on your bra size not a small, medium, large if you want the most functional (and flattering) fit.

Traditional Bras

Sometimes you’ll only be able to pack traditional travel bras. If this is the case for you, make each and every item count. Pick the best travel bra opt for neutral, versatile styles. Three is the magic number for bras.

You should definitely have at least one “nude” bra (the color that is closest to your skin tone) as it’s the most versatile color and can be worn underneath all clothing.

If this bra is a convertible, even better! If your top have a variety of straps and back openings this is particularly important. Choose bras that can be worn under all or most of your clothing.

Maybe this will help someone… I recently bought the Spanx All Around bra – it’s kind of like a bandeau, but with more definition. It’s convertible so it can be strapless or it has straps. I don’t like traditional strapless bras for travel but this wears easier. Happy travels!!!

I have been on the hunt for a bandeau with light padding for nipple coverage and adjustable/removable straps that can be used regular, criss-cross or strapless. This seems like it would be comfortable and versatile for travel. Maybe I need to come up with my own design to try out!

I am a petite, but larger chested woman…. I find that when we travel, if we are staying with friends or family, I feel more comfortable and less self conscious if I wear a sleep bra. Most of the time, I must leave the privacy of our room to make a pit stop and I really want to be a bit more modest. I have purchased some Hanes bras that have hook and eye closures like traditional bras, but they are otherwise seamless and made of a very stretchy and comfortable fabric. In fact, they are so comfy, I sleep just fine with it on. They support well enough that I feel comfortable outside our room while wearing it under my tshirt and pj bottoms. The biggest bonus is, they’re super affordable!
